Meet Finn, a camper from our St. Louis Summer Camp!

This year was his first youth camp experience. When Finn joined us, he was fixated on devices/tablets. He would attempt to go through other campers’ bags and cubbies looking for a tablet or device and even take them out of others’ hands.

Finn struggled to express his wants and needs to staff and often needed staff by his side for most of the day. He took to one camp counselor in particular and she helped him find his place at camp. After a couple weeks, Finn had become more independent when playing, detached from tablets and, would seek out staff for assistance.

Finn has come so far; from needing constant support and struggling to express himself, to solo play and even making friends with peers. We absolutely loved nurturing Finn’s growth at camp and hope to continue being there for him and his family in the future.

Happy 72nd Birthday to us!🥳

Sunday, we celebrated 72 years of service! UCP Heartland was founded in 1953 by a group of concerned parents and volunteers, who wanted to provide a higher quality of life for family members and friends living with disabilities.

Did you know that 1,543,928 adults in Missouri have a disability. This is equal to 31% or 1 in 4 adults in Missouri. (CDC)

We are committed to providing the support necessary for a successful, meaningful life to our clients, their families, and their surrounding community.

We love seeing the incredible connections our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) make! Recently, one of our RBTs took a moment outside with a client that blossomed into a fantastic learning opportunity.

What started as a simple outdoor break quickly became a lesson in potting a plant, a life skill and a surprising new hobby! This moment was so powerful because it engaged the senses, and modeled friendship & interest.

It’s a perfect example of how our team meets clients where they are, transforming everyday moments into meaningful growth and discovery!

Our November Employee Spotlight is Marissa Roll. Marissa has worked for UCP Heartland for 2.5 years as the Lead BCBA at our Columbia Autism Clinic!

She trains new hires, promotes relationship building and communication, creates client plans, and attends community events to share about the clinic. Marissa loves seeing the positive impact their work has on clients at the clinic. She enjoys being a part of training employees to help clients grow and thrive.

She is proud that multiple clients are now able to attend school and find success due to the hard work of everyone at the clinic. “Seeing the thankfulness and happiness from the parents always has a lasting impact on me.”

Marissa feels others should work for UCP because of the mission-centered approach we take to work. She said, “They know your name and are interested in getting to know you. This cultivates a sense of family and makes me want to work harder.”

Thank you, Marissa, for your dedication!
